POETRY
	Stag's leap / Sharon Olds. In this wise and intimate telling--which carries us through the seasons when her marriage was ending--Sharon Olds opens her heart to the reader, sharing the feeling of invisibility that comes when we are no longer standing in love's sight; the surprising physical bond that still exists between a couple during parting; the loss of everything from her husband's smile to the set of his hip. Olds stands before us, curious and brave and even generous toward the man who was her mate for thirty years and who now loves another woman.
